MINDS- Multidisciplinary Inter-Institutional Network on Development and Strategies - is a focused international network on development strategies and alternative policy options, targeting a broad audience of policy makers, international negotiators, CEOs and academics.
The international workshop - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY POST GRADUATE TEACHING AND RESEARCH ACTIVITIES - BUILDING AN INTERDISCIPLINARY AND DIVERSE NETWORK - will take place in Rio de Janeiro, from March 21st to 22nd, 2007, at BNDES (Centro de Treinamento, Auditório Cláudio Treiguer), Av. Chile 100, downtown.
The workshop intents to be the starting point for an international network for capacity building in intellectual property, based on past links with professors, researchers and policy makers, in Brazil and abroad. Besides participating in the WIPO and INPI Academy, the network aims to develop alternative and independent research and teaching activities.

The workshop is part of the research project: Capacity Building in Intellectual Property - The Academies and the Diversity of Teaching Matters.
The main objectives of this workshop are:
1. Identify IP postgraduated teaching programmes in different countries and in different states of Brazil, examining their similarities and specificities;
2. Build up of a national and international network of IP postgraduated teaching programmes;
4. Disseminate the information and results of the workshop on the web pages and portals of the Network, and via links, as part of the procedures of building the Network.

The workshop will be followed by the International Symposium on Intellectual Property Academies, Experience and Future Perspectives, organized by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the Brazilian National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI). The event will be held in Rio de Janeiro, from March 22nd (afternoon) to March 23th (morning and afternoon).

THE WORKSHOP
The access to knowledge becomes particularly relevant in intermediate stages of national development, as it is a decisive instrument for the processes of technological catch-up and innovation strategies. In the contemporary world, mainly after the TRIPs Agreement, intellectual property represents the most pervasive system of knowledge regulation. Capacity building efforts in intellectual property should emphasize the twin dimensions of innovation and development.

In terms of practical results, the workshop aims to build up a network of Postgraduate Programmes in Intellectual Property, establishing minimum common curricula as a basis for professors and students exchange, and for the funding of the network activities.

We encourage the sharing of IP teaching and research activities materials.
